RIOT AT ROANOKE. 10 WERE KILLED AND 181 MORE OR LESS INJURED. i DESPERATE MOB MET BY DETERMINED Officers, Who Defend the Pris-| oner at the Risk of Their Lives -The Prisoner Was Saved audthe Law Upheld. ROANOKE, Va., Sept. IO.-One of j ;he most dastardly crimes in the listory of the city occurred at 0 o'clock this morning. Mrs. ?enry S. Bishop, aged about 50 'ears and a respectable white wo oan from Cloyendale, eight miles rom this city, was enticed by a ?gro named Thomas Smith from he market where she had come to 311 produce into an empty stall in ^ ie basement and beat her into \ ?sensibility and robbed her of t er packet book, containing less ( ian $2. ' * ? i The woman was left for dead but ( lanaged to revive a few moments ? iter and crawled up to the street I here she told her story. r The fiend had in the meantime d leaped, but was detected from the y ascription given by Mrs. Bishop, y jarding an out-going train. A I ?lored man jumped on the car o id grabbed the criminal, the two \' ll to the ground'. A crowd im- t? ediately surrounded the prisoner a id threats of lynching were loud h id frequent. Detective W. W. ri ildwin seized the man and hold- J g the crowd at bay with his re- B Iver started on horseback T* ith n e frightened negro behind him. w p rode to the saloon where the ci mnded woman was removed and tj e positively identified him. He C ? U.-'.j' i.TO'.'/id .zz'.L--:> -J :-iv 3 vicinity of the woman's home, aded by Mrs. Bishop's sou a eman on the Norfolk and West i railroad. At 8 o'clock a portion of the )b battered at a side door of the ?1 where the militia and Mayor out had retired. The shooting ,s commenced by the mob, and e mayor was shot in the foot, ie militia were then ordered to tum. the fire and a volley from out twenty-five rifles poured into e mob. It is thought that about e men were killed by this fire d as many more wounded, s:>me them fatally. During the excitement caused by e volley the negro was taken Dm the jail by an officer and se eted. The dead and wounded ?re moved to a drug store and to e offices of near by physicians. ie militia weie then uMspersed, id lett the scene as quietly as )ssible. The following is a list of the >ad as far as is known at preset : DEAD. S. A. Vick, hotel proprietor. Will Sheets, fireman on the N. W. Railroad: Charles Whitemeyer, conductor j the N. & W. J. B. Tyler, of Blueridge. George White, shot through leg id bled to death. W. Jones, engineer on N. & W. lilroad. ? E. Small, North Roanoke. G. E. White, fireman on,the L. N. Railroad. George Settles. John Mills, Deep Back Creek. INJURED. Otto Fall, shot through the body nd will die. Will Edie, shot through groin. George 0. Monroe, shot in head. Frank Mills, shot in arm. Tom Nelson, leg shot off.

North, 0. B. 'aylor,-Hall, David Biggies, \ E.Nelms. Several attacks were made after he military retired, and Judge Voods, of Husting court, assured he mob that the negro Smith had teen removed from the jail and ccompanied two of the crowd ai g f through the jail to prove the truth of his statement. His statement and the aspect of Jailer Watts, the Democratic candidate for the State Senate, did much to peacify the crowd. But they hung around the jail and adjacent streets for several houris afterwards, many proposing ;to search for the secreted prisoner. ' At midnight the scene had quiet ed down, and no further trouble is expected. The militia remain un der the mayor's orders, although it is probable that they will not be sailed out again. Mayor Trout is firm in the posi tion he has assumed, and declares that he will uphold the laws. The dead were removed to the under taking establishments and will be prepared for burial. Kathleen Mavourneen. ' Who does not remember Kath leen Mavourneen, the beautiful Trish melody that divas have garbled, royalties have hummed, ind frequent chanting has made Hie of the most celebrated songs } n'the musical world? It is by Crouch, many have affirmed ; but < irho Crouch was and is, and where ie lives, are questions that have . lot been persistent enough to in- . luce one to talk. F. N. Crouch j ras born in England eighty-four ears ago. He is a resident of baltimore, where he lives iu an bscure street, in a tiny house, j. Vith him are a son and a daughter, fie former being an adopted child, j. nd having a romantic history of is own, that would be as well to ?l?te now as later. A boy-named ames Marion Roche, born at New I ?ss, in Kilkenny, learned the j ?elody of Kathleen Mavourneen hen he was a child. He cou ?ived a passionate fondness for ie Song, and idealized its author, omi"? fr "r^;*-" . - * - ?*ftr>? * - r'.JN. Crouch has written score of songs, several operas, L( id many popular Irish ballads, f or years he played as first violon ilist in the Drury Lane Theatre ] rchestra, London. But he de ded there were other ways more I icrative, and so became engaged t business in a large rolling-mill >r the manufacture of zinc. This, owever, failed, and he returned ? music-his one life-longing, fi th the exception of Bishop, Mr. rouch has written more ballads lat any other writer in the world, t one time he gave remarkable | romise as a vocalist, but ill-health I pstroyed his pursuit of the art. s a composer he is known to the g orld, as a composer he is passing svay-now almost on the border f another country. Harry Hammend, speaking of " 3e Sealsland Negro, says:" It is * lid this people must be fed by harity of government aid until 6 ext April, and that even then * tieir lands, impregnated |by salts ^ rom the sea water may refuse to *j roduce a crop. It looks as if the easant proprietory of the Sea Is mds had reached the end of their s areer.

NOAH'S C?fiSE EEVEESED, I Or How to Turn Negroes White. Rich and Racy. Away back in the sixties, a few months after Lee's surrender, I met Uncle Cephas one day climbing the hill to the village in high dudgeon He was in a hurry and he had his big stick in his hand. Anger and hurry were in Uncle Cephas's ca-e quite synonymous words; and when he toted that stick the world knew he meant business. On my return, half an hour later, I found him backed by his dogs, searching the town in an earnest quest of something or somebody. "Seed dat feller 'bout here to-day dat turns niggers into white folks?" he panted as soon as he got in range. I had to confess that I could not then recall having come across 3uch a magician. Even the further inscription of "Er stray feller in ?to' close en er paper collar" did lot serve to refresh my memory. "Yistiddy." explained Uncle Hephas, "dat feller drive up at de irosa roads ober hyere in er kivered vagin, sot up his tent, en gin out lat any nigger could be turned nto white folks-dat is. ef he had ir fibe-doHar bili. "I sey, 'Ole Marster made de rigger black. How you gwi' undo lie work?' "He sey, 'God neber made yer ?lack. Noah got drammy en cussed o hard dat he cussed yer into er ligger en into slavery.

E. H-, in Central Presbyteral. Lord Burleigh's advice to his n about marriage is quaint and tinted, if not very high-toned, i'rom marriage will spring all thy ?ture good or evil ; and it is an ;tion of life like unto a stratagem : war ; wherein a mau can ?rr but ice .If thy estate be good, match sar at home at leisure ; if weak, ir off and quickly." He seems to advise his son to ?rpetrate a fraud on some rich oman. He writes further: "In ure diligently of her disposition, et her not be poor, however merous, for a man can buy noth igin the market with gentility, br choose a base and uncomely reature altogether for her wealth, >r it will cause contempt in others nd loathing in the. Neither make tioice of a dwarf, nor a fool ; for y the one thou shalt be father of race of pigmies, the other will be iy continual disgrace, and it will irke thee to hear her talk. For bou shalt fine to thy great grief, batt here is nothing more fulsome ban a she fool." Egyptain Cotton. The Times Alexendria correspon ent says the Fgyptian cotton crop 9 steadily increasing.

FIFTY THOUSAND BOOMEES AND SOONEES BUSS OYEE OKLAHOMA'S BOEDER AND CHARGE ON CHEROKEE'S STRIP, Men and Women Have Their Clothes Torn Off in the Crush and Scramhlc at the Start for the Promised Land. Kate Field's Washington. GUTHRIE, I. T., Sept. 16.-Last night very few of the 50,000 boom- j ers upon the border of the Chero kee Strip closed their eyes in sleep. Long before daylight this morn ing thousands of people had as sembled about the Santa Fe depot aere, and train aftei train was ipeedily packed with people and mlled out for Orlando upon the ine. r The rush for good places on the rains was hard, and a number rere crushed and injured. Arriving at Orlando, all were ompelled to leave the cars and ' ake their places with the 15,000 .eople who had spent the night here upon the railway right of ray br who sat about the town. About one thousand persons who ad not registered were speedily ccommodated, and ihen began a sene of pushing and crowding od elbowing never before seen. Over 15,000 persocs wanted to J on the first train, which had ipacity for less than 2,000, and 1 were anxious to be at the best lace to get aboard. At ll :30 the first train pulled up ? the line, and others come right ?hind. er iii .\. wuuoi, upon id under the platforms and even ?on the roofs of the coaches. The soldiers soon recovered, bow er, and with fixed bayonets eared the train and compelled erybody to show his or her cer ficate before entering. But on ery side the people fought and niggled to get near the cars. The women had their clothes rn off and men were knocked )wn and trampled upon. Scores of people were injured, >t the struggle kept up until thc ain was filled. Why Booth Killed Lincoln. new story has been started as to hy Booth killed Lincoln. Lieut. [James B. Jamison of lake orno, Putnam county. Fla, who ?mmanded the body guard of resident Lincoln until it was jsigned to other duty about two eeks before the assassination, and ho was called into the room here Mr. Lincoln was carried Eter being shot and saw him reathe his last said recently upon ie subject to a reporter of the hiladelphia Times : "I have seen in print many tories of the plot against Lincoln's ife, many of them blaming tho outh, but never the true one. The icts are Booth nad a very dear ctor friend named Anderson, who ras condemned to be shot as a spy. 'rior to this time Baoth and Lin oln had been friends. A strong ffort was made in Anderson's lehalf, so strong that* a Cabinet aeeting was held, and in someway iooth managed to appear at the neetingand plead with tears in his yes for his friend's .ife. He left he meeting with the understaning hat the sentence would be com mited to imprisonment. Anderson pas shot the following morning at lunrise. "Booth was frenzied with rage, md it was as a result of this that he plot to kill not only Licoln but :he entire Cabinet was formed. There was more than one man pre mred to shoot that night, and if ;he courage of the man to whom ?vas entrusted the duty of turning mt the theatre lights had not ? Faliedhim, there would have been j, general slaughter. The South had nothing to do with President Lincoln's assassination, and, more over. Mrs. Sarratt, who was hanged for complicity in the crime, was an innocent woman. I know it to bea fact that Chief of Secret Service Baker on his deathbed confessed to Secretary Stanton that Mrs. Surratt was banged on per jured evidence."
